I never thought I would have a blog. Let alone a blog that was mandatory for a class. It was very interesting as it gave me a place to reflect on my thoughts about certain class sessions during the semester. A public place to reflect no less but that was cool. I didn't have any issue with anyone viewing my blog and I'm nosy so it was a good way for me to find out what everyone else was up to.
Honestly, had there been no blog, it's possible that the class activities although fun, would've be disposable activities because they would've been done and that would've been it. I wouldn't think about them any further but being that I had to blog on them, I pretty much had to remember highlights of the class and reflect on my interactions which pretty much reinforced the activities.
In my opinion, if one did horribly in the class due to lack of attention to the blog assignments, that would be really f*****g stupid. I don't get it. The professor wasn't asking for Shakespearean material or Pulitzer writing. All you had to do was stay on top of your assignments, contribute to others, and keep it pushing. The blog is easy points. Just needed a little time management to stay on top is all...
I don't know, when the class ends, I'm pretty sure I won't continue on this blog but open up another blog but probably not until I have lots of free time to post regularly because I would hope that my next blog had a seriously dedicated following as I'd like it to be helpful and entertaining.
Words to Kurpis: The blog is good. Continue to have this as a requirement in your classes. Don't change a thing.

You make a good point in that the blog serves as a complement to the class activities. It is stirctly because of the blog that the activities were not forgotten about after taking place in class.
ReplyDeleteThe final grade for blog will show everybody how s/he is managing her/his time. So, it is possible to say that this blogging part of the class was not that pointless as it could be seen. It will prove in the end how efficient we are as time managers.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the class activities were fun enough to remember and blogging did not have to be essential to the activity; however it gave us time to reflect and look back on what we did and learned and helped us connect the lesson with what we have done in class. Overall, the blogs were good and yes i agree it is easy points towards our grades and no one should be able to mess it up =)
